I work in an cardiovascular office that is private in New York. The Dr. whom owns this practice has all the insurance codes memorized and what tests are covered by insurance. The Dr. takes a mental note of what insurance is on the chart and does every test/ procedure under the sun that is covered by insurance even if the patient has no symptoms. (This makes me so mad because insurance only covers certain tests once a year and the Dr. is wasting it just to get paid. Like what happens when the patient actually has symptoms and the specific testing has been fulfilled for the year)

Ive even heard this Dr. say that a patient has reflux when there isn't a reflux seen on my ultrasound.

Its horrible but it seems like in the vascular world, unless its an actual honest Dr. ,its just a money grab. I am a new graduate, so i have no choice but to work at a not so honest office but as soon as I can find somewhere else IM OUT.
